While New York City may be one of the most famous cities in the world, there's one thing it just has no claim to: barbecue.

But Mighty Quinn's Barbeque is looking to change that.

With its humble beginnings as a food stall at Brooklyn's open-air food market Smorgasburg, Quinn's has grown to seven locations in New York and New Jersey on the strength of its amazing barbecue merit.

And with glowing reviews over the years- including one from Pete Wells of the New York Times - I decided to head down to the East Village to see (or taste, rather) for myself how Mighty Quinn's is upping NYC's barbecue game.
